5G technology, the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, is expected to launch across the world by 2020, bringing three types of innovation: greater speed to be able to move more data; lower latency to improve responsiveness; and the ability to connect many devices at once. While many are focused on what they will be able to do with faster smartphones – 5G is expected to provide average download speeds of 1GBps – others are looking toward the innovations 5G will make possible.​“5G will be the platform for invention,” says a PSB Research report commissioned by Qualcomm. The survey found that 91 percent of worldwide respondents expect 5G to generate “new products and services that have yet to be invented,” and 87 percent expect new industries to emerge.

It’s predicted that 5G technology will bring opportunity to many industries:​

Healthcare innovations such as stroke rehab through Virtual Reality, smart bandages that track healing and the opportunity for parents to interact with babies confined to incubators.

Automotive executives foresee 5G being used to provide quick location-based services, collision avoidance, roadside assistance and more. In fact, an autonomous car with 5G technology could hit the brakes with a stopping distance of one inch compared to the 4.6 feet it takes today with 4G.

​5G will also contribute to the Internet-of-Things through machine learning and artificial intelligence, and its evolution will be used with appliances, alarm systems, health monitors, parking meters and traffic signals as well as for ultra-fast wireless delivery of video and data files.

Most mobile consumers today use 3G or 4G/LTE networks. Introduced to the public in 2001, 3G ushered in the smartphone era, while 4G/LTE, introduced in 2009, provided the high-speed connections that make it possible to stream high-definition video on our phones. The next generation, 5G, is expected to be available through some carriers as early as late 2018, with expanded access expected in 2019.5G is projected to bring three main benefits:​

Faster speed: Data transfer speeds are projected to be about 10 times higher with 5G than is possible with 4G.

Shorter delays: 5G should reduce the brief lag time from when data is sent to when it is received (known as latency), making it possible to watch high-speed virtual reality video, among other things, with no delays or glitches.

Increased connectivity: Cell towers equipped with 5G technology would have greatly increased capacity over 4G/LTE, which means more people — and more devices — should be able to communicate at the same time.
